Yeah, to paraphrase my mother, "If I thought you were going to crash it, I wouldn't let you drive it."
I actually learned to drive first on a ride-on lawn mower when I was barely heavy enough to keep the dead man switch active: hit a bump and the mower would switch off. Then I graduated to ATVs and finally to the farm pick-up truck when I was 12 or so. By the time I had a license, I was a quite capable and reasonably safe driver. Honestly, I think it may be best to learn before you are a teenager when you are still scared of the big machines.
- trgn 10y agothat sounds like a great way to learn how to drive
- marincounty 10y agoMy parents taught me how to drive when I was around 13. By 15.5 driving was just driving. As a teen driver, I took a few chances, but was not a wild driver. I remember thinking, I just want my vechicle to last. Fooling around, and racing was just not my first priority? It was a different time in history though. These days a parent would be jailed for teaching a kid how to drive in Sears parking lot after closing hours. My mom was my driving teacher. Happy Mother's Day!
